Nothing to do with the Cobra. If no one gets it I cough up the answer this evening. I'll give you a couple more hints.

The designer had ties with Ford for years.

The second generation of this coupe was powered by a GM power plant.

This car started as a roadster.

Frame design was more "Indy" style.

Uh oh...I stand corrected. Even though the the Cobras were shipped to the US without drivetrains the car would be manufactured under the Shelby name. And the Cobras were actually built with a tube space frame kinda like the birdcage frame of the Maseratis...Kinda.

It couldn't be a Cobra. AC-Bristol isn't American.
It isn't mid-engine or have a birdcage frame like the Maserati

Haw!!! You Guys just don't know the answer! So now you picking on the poor Maserati Brothers!

Maserati didn't build the mystery car. Americans did! It was origionally set up with a FE engine.

When Chrysler put Maseriti badging on the K car it didn't do much for its name sake .

"Virtues of a Maserati"?
As they said on Top Gear "Maserati makes cars to be all that they can be - briefly!"
I guess so long as you keep the number of a towing company handy, they have a lot of virtues.
